Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Shaw will get a rare day off against a right-handed pitcher (Eli Morgan), with manager Alex Cora instead rewarding the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec with a turn in the lineup after he went 4-for-7 with two home runs, two doubles and seven RBI between his last two starts. Both Shaw and Dalbec are likely to see their opportunities take a hit soon, as Kyle Schwarber is gradually expected to receive more reps at first base after making his first start at the position Friday.

Shaw isn't starting Friday's game against Cleveland, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw will be on the bench for a second straight game since left-hander Logan Allen is starting for Cleveland. Kyle Schwarber will shift to first base while Yairo Munoz starts in left field.

Shaw isn't starting Thursday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw drew starts in each of the last two games but will head back to the bench, even though right-hander John Gant is on the mound for the Twins. Bobby Dalbec will start at first base and bat ninth.

Shaw started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw has started the last two games at first base, both against right-handed pitchers. Bobby Dalbec will start against lefties and occasionally face righties, but it appears Shaw will be the strong side of a platoon until such time that Kyle Schwarber is ready to play the field.

Shaw went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw led off the bottom of the third inning with the homer, his eighth of the season. He's now gone yard in back-to-back games, though he didn't start on Monday. Shaw's playing time is already limited by the fact that he will sit against left-handed pitching, though his struggles to find consistent plate appearances could only worsen due to the return of Christian Arroyo. If Arroyo takes over the primary duties at second base, Enrique Hernandez will likely shift to the outfield, which could in turn push Kyle Schwarber to first base -- Shaw's primary source of playing time.

Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walkoff grand slam in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He entered the game in the eighth inning after Bobby Dalbec was lifted for a pinch hitter and, after popping out in the ninth, Shaw got to play the hero when he hammered a 3-2 pitch from Dennis Santana into the right-field seats in the 11th. The veteran infielder has only picked up five at-bats since being claimed off waivers by Boston over a week ago, and even after Monday's walkoff blast, Shaw will likely struggle to find consistent playing time on a crowded roster.

Shaw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Boston claimed Shaw off waivers from Milwaukee and added him to the active roster last week, the team has encountered a heavy stretch of games versus left-handed starting pitchers. As a result, the lefty-hitting Shaw has been limited to just one start at first base, and he'll sit once again in favor of the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec with southpaw Kolby Allard on the bump for Texas. Manager Alex Cora suggested Monday that outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber could see his first action at first base later in the week and eventually settle in as the primary option at the position, so Shaw's opportunities could dry up quickly even when the Red Sox begin to face more right-handed pitchers.

Shaw isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even though the Red Sox are facing a second consecutive right-hander Saturday, Shaw will be out of the lineup for a third straight game. Bobby Dalbec will remain at first base and bat ninth.

Shaw is not starting Friday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw unsurprisingly took a seat against left-hander Andrew Heaney on Wednesday, and he'll now remain on the bench despite Texas sending right-hander Dane Dunning to the hill. Bobby Dalbec draws the start at first base and will bat ninth.

Shaw is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora is rolling out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Yankees southpaw Andrew Heaney in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Shaw will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader. Bobby Dalbec will pick up the start at first base Wednesday and should continue to play regularly versus left-handed pitching.
